Killed a Bear Willi u Dirk,
Poitland, Oct. 6, Killing a bear
with a hunting knife hus not often
occurred since' the days of Davy
Crockett, but the method was brought
Into fashion again Sunday afternoon
by James Short, a resident of Wash
ougnl. Wash., who stabbed a big,
shaggy brute to death after a des
perate encounter lusting 30 minutes.
Weukened by loss of blood. Short
fell in his tracks ulongsldo of tho
dead bear, and was found by two
cornpunlons who had accompanied
111 m out into the woods, for a morn
ing rumble.
Knl ii irambllnc came ts in opera
tion III tho city of Pendleton today,
because of the action last night of
District Attorney G. W. Phelps, In
serving notice on nil gamblers that
tliuv must cease operations. "I do not
anticipate any trouble In enforcing
the Inw," said Phelps, this morning,
"and I shall nrrest any person who
nttempts to operate a game of
chance.
"1 was clad to take the present ac
tion been use of the cnninlnlnts that I
hear on nil sides of the flagrant way
In which the town hns been running
wide open. All over the country I
lump utnmirei'H remarking the laxity
of Pendleton's morals. 1 hesitated at
first to take action, for I believe It
more the duty of the city government
to regulate such things. I do not
wish to apear In a heroic light In this
matter."
No Games Running.
There appears to bo no Inclination
on the part of the gambling frnternl-ty-to'
disobey the district attorney's
mandate. A personal Inspection this
morning by a reporter for the BaBt
Oregonlnn showed the banking games
and card tables in nil the houses,
either boxed up or under canvass,
with chairs and stools piled bottom
side up on top of the tables.
Theunemployed dealers, boosters
nnd hangers-on of the houses are
standing In the bar rooms or on the
streets todny, awaiting something to
turn up, S
Gamblers Not Kicking.
Not a gambler In the city has been
found to express criticism of the dis
trict attorney's action. "It is his or
ders that we close," said one, "nnd
we are great people to obey the
law,"
Usually when a town Is "closed"
the knights of the green cloth, has
tily pack thulr telescopes and depart
for fresher pastures. But In tho
Northwest Just at present the now
fields are scarco and trespass notices
are many, so It Is apparent that Pen
dleton Is to retain the presence of a
few score of "floating population" for
some time to come,
Incoino Prom Pines.
mhI month 14 gambling houses
paid flnoK of $75 each. This month
the amount of eiich fine was Increas
ed to $100. Including the fines on
gamblers, Inmates and keepers of
houses of lllfauu', nnd other offenses,
the revenues of the city of Pendleton
last month were Increased to almost
$1900. "The money derived by the
city." said a prominent Pendleton of
ficial, "Is very helpful to the town,
but things have be enrunnlng a little
too wide open and we can well forego
the Income."
McClclliin Removes Commissioners.

much in evidence along the wator
front. Including the Oriental liner
Arabia there are four vesiris In port
flying tho German flag. The sailing
vessels aro the Etnllle, tho Anna and

such a largo fleet from that country
Is In tho hnrbor at tho same time.
W,hen nshoro tho skippers are usual

In the lead, having six vessels In port.
They are tho Durfrlesslilre, the Ruth-
